U.S. should OK Keystone, ANWAR, Kay Bailey Hutchison says

The Obama administration should open more federal lands for drilling and approve the Keystone XL Pipeline, Kay Bailey Hutchison told the Dallas Business Journal yesterday.

The retired Republican senator said all the environmental studies for the oil transmission line from Canada to Texas have been done.

“It should have been approved years ago,” she said. “We have an ally, Canada, that wants to export to America. We would be holding that up when every state on that pipeline route has signed on and is for it. Canada will have no choice but to export to other countries in the world instead of us.”
